wastegate could be stuck open

Hello everyone, I haven't updated this thread for a while and that's mainly because very little has happened. The car is converted as intended and functions like I want it to! I did an entertaining oil change. The dash has been reading full on the oil check since we got the car and of course I...

Bedford GT Time for a quick update now I've made a video. Mart and I went to Bedford only 10 days after our previous Brands Hatch outing, however, this time we were much better prepared for rubbish weather and spent the weekend before checking over the car to make sure it was tickety boo...

Think that was a guy called Matt. Believe the cat D from a bit of body damage. If it's the one I'm thinking of..

Watch me!!! You night still have an injector issue. Are you leads on correctly, sounds obvious but it's an easy mistake to make.

Well sir, luckily I have an engine out of the car in the garage! you can see the tensioner. You just chuck a spanner on the hex part and it slackens off.

with the tensioners, models with air conditioning have an automatic tensioner which is a doddle. The manual ones can be tensioned with a jubilee clip over the hooks.

spotted this on ebay, pretty rare and awesome conversion especially with an ESS kit....like that clio rep I've done.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M3-E91-TOURING-ESTATE-ESS-SUPERCHARGED-650BHP-OPEN-TO-OFFERS-MAY-PX/401660395344?hash=item5d84d33f50:g:jqIAAOSwsO5b~ZnX

Geka are good, use them when I was at the garden centre. Otherwise I really like the brass stuff you get in tool station...and it's cheaper than hoselock too

torque developments balance rotating assemblies

Thanks matey, you'd be surprised at how just a couple of editing tricks make the video have a totally different feel. I've wanted to publish a video like that for ages. Strangely one of the first videos I experimented with was very similar but never made it onto the youtube! The music was...

Sorry chaps I've only just seen these replies. Guess it's a bit late to reply now the summer's over! Brands Hatch Back in the spring, after that awful Snetterton day, I committed to doing some preventative maintenance work on the cup before using it again. To tell the truth I fell completely...

You do need to code them or it will run very badly. Check the filter or shine a light in the tank as it's likely your fuel pump has disintegrated in which case to do a proper job it's tank and lines out out, a serious cleaning session, new pump, new injectors and a new filter. £650 or so...

I haven’t read your full post but I had a similar issue when I relocated my battery. After going out for a session the car would try to start but felt like it hadn’t no battery left. My problem was the battery cable was too thin so when it had been on a run the cable got hot, the resistance...

Thanks Mark, all your photos are always beautiful, much much more so than my amateur stuff. That one in the autumn leaves was almost taken by accident as I was actually filming at the time!

Make them yourself or buy them from Hel directly. For all the great advertising I can't say Proline were particularly forecoming with customer service. When it comes to taking money the process was very fast. I got sent the wrong lines the first time, then lines with the wrong fittings, then...

Jesus dave you changing your car more than I change my pants. Mine isn’t a DAB unit because the antenna is a bit difficult to run. When factory fitted it attaches to the rear windscreen which after a certain age has the antenna built in. Have a look at jay bmw retrofits on Facebook. They are...

@Short Legs sorry for taking ages to do this. They are the daylight ones so 6000k, totally worth it over the bluer colours a lot of lights seem to be. I can work on the car day or night and there's no difference. Serious bits of kit. Connection has a length of wire which I ran into those...

All abs systems work from magnetic pulses both front and rear on the clio and for both 26 and 44 tooth models

@william.. you’re wrong I’m afraid. Non sports came with both 26 and 44 tooth ABS systems. The change occurred in about 2003. For cars with 44 tooth ABS systems you need standard front sensors and dci100/1.6 sensors for the rear beam, I.e sensors without ESP. For 26 tooth cars you can use...

Let me get you some pics later :) I’ve got the daylight ones.

I sure did. However the only reason it gave me cruise is because I could swap back to the correct ecu. The gear ratios in the jb3 were all wrong for the cruise in the 80 ecu to work. Cruise is in the ecu and simply needs enabling and the wiring running. It’s actually the best cruise control...

OK, time for a quick update while I'm on here. Finally got the car back on the65 ecu which has made it much better to drive and thankfully it isn't doing woeful mpg anymore. With the 80 ecu on 65 hardware I for 33mpg on the way back from Devon meaning I may as well have taken the BM! I had a...

Very old video of my 182 with a lightened flywheel, 98ron rstuner map, decat and janspeed exhaust A/c delete and EPAS. My current cup has one too so the more recent videos of it will show the revvyness however it does have cams too.

If you have xenons the fronts stop the balast getting wet and causing flickering

I like me a dci project as you well know. Wicked that is runs well, that's exactly what you want when buying one of these. Our Dci is exactly the same thing, a piece of poop we don't care about and can take stuff to the tip in without worrying about.

There isn't a way to re-calibrate, even with CLIP. Agreed they aren't the best.

@Mazz yes...... disclaimer: this photo is slightly misleading....full post soon!

I would drop the fluid and check the diff cup.
